The views from the cabins and main lodge are spectacular. Truly stunning setting. While there are a few residences around there are only four cabins so seems very private and serene. Hot tub and sauna nice touches. What really sets this place apart is the staff. The guides and the kitchen and other staff are stellar. Food is wonderful and varied. In terms of activities there are many fishing options which are fun. And a few hikes to do. Also kayaking. Would recommend you look closely at activities to make sure match your interests. Fly fishing is pretty but not a lot of spots if you are here a while. Also while close to Denali National Park you can’t really get to or see Denali without a long hike or by air. But overall great and good for multi generational families

This place is a dream! Not only the location, cabins, weather, food, and enviorment was great, the staff is the best!I assure you there is no other fishing and outdoor lodge were you will feel as welcomed and pampered as in Chelatna, and i have been to many others. It was a wonderful trip, i highly recomend this place. Had a blast, hopefully will visit again soon

Everything was fantastic.Great activities,  great weather,  great food, great staff!Thanks to everyone at Chelatna Lake Lodge!Flight tour of Denali was transformational, spiritual!Fishing was excellent, but don't tell anyone!Highly recommend Chelatna Lake Lodge and a private helicopter hiking tour!

Our trip was fabulous. We traveled with our 4 children and we all came away with so much JOY! We were greeted by owner Matt after our trip in a float plane. We settled in to our chalets (nice, clean with a perfect view of Mt Russel and the mountain range) and headed out with Luke and Jacob to the river. The sockeye were everywhere around us. They were at the end of their spawn, so were a bit slow. The rainbow trout were feasting on fish eggs. Between the 6 of us we caught at least 40 fish (Sockeye, Rainbow trout, Arctic Grayling). Our daughters who had never fly fished were reeling them in with the rest of us (all catch and release). We returned to a rustic wonderful sauna and hot tub on the edge of the lake. We soaked and laughed and enjoyed the first of three days with these great folks. We woke to morning coffee delivered to our chalet. The chef and staff were above and beyond and the food was spectacular. Our kids gathered at night with the guides and staff and had a great time. Jacob, Luke, and Tony, our guides were kind, fun, informative, and masters of their craft. Many thanks from the Ash family to The Chelatna family for making this the trip of a lifetime.

You don’t have to just be a fisher-person to go here!! The fishing yes is out of this world, salmon swim around your feet whilst you catch trout! We had an awesome guide Luke, who showed us how to fly fish and I then caught my first ever trout in 26 seconds!! His knowledge and personality shone through and we became good friends. He listened to what we enjoyed and for me that was photography and my husband and I kayaking and he embraced that to help us get the most from our stay.The wilderness is stunningly beautiful and full of life.The lodges were rustic yet very comfortable and Tom the chef was fantastic- you will not go hungry here! Loved our stay soo much we left with extended family .
